What our members say!

“It’s the logical thing to do”

“I’ve never had any concerns about safety. I met my lift-share before we took our first journey; I was with my husband and he was with his partner and his children, out walking in the village, and it was very easy.” Tammy

What is car-sharing?

Car-sharing is when there is more than one occupant in a private car. We all share cars regularly, with our friends and family, without thinking about it. But there are often times when a driver has empty seats in the car simply because they don't know of anyone who needs a lift.

Liftshare enables organised car-sharing by connecting people travelling in the same direction so they can arrange to travel together and share the costs, whilst reducing congestion and pollution at the same time.

How can I get involved?

The service is available to anyone over 18, commuters, students, football supporters, festival goers, tourists, employees - anyone!

Joining the scheme is simple and completely FREE. All you have to do is register your details and then activate your account. You do this by clicking on the link that we send to your email.

Once you've registered your journey and searched for a suitable match, you can then contact the member (s).

When can I share a car?

Because of the organisation involved, car-sharing is most appropriate for pre-planned or regular journeys, including:

Getting to and from work

Getting to and from university

Travelling to a festival, big event or show

Going to the match at the weekend

Doing the weekly shop

Getting the children to school

Or simply visiting friends

But you can also search for traveling companions for one-off journeys to anywhere in the country.
